In the wake of TikTok's reign as one of the most influential social media apps, users are doing all they can to try to grow their platforms. With millions of videos on TikTok, many are participating in risky challenges in order to get more views.
But, some of these challenges have bordered on extremely dangerous, and some TikTok stars have ended up in the hospital.
Watch on for the seven most dangerous TikTok challenges that can cause serious harm. Please do not try these challenges.
Tooth filing challenge
This is a challenge that users file their teeth with a nail file. Dentists and dental students had to explain why the technique was so dangerous. They can destroy the user’s tooth enamel and sometimes damage the teeth in the long term.
Benadryl challenge
This trend revolves around teenagers challenging each other to take large doses of Benadryl, an antiallergic drug, to trigger hallucinations. Although pills usually only make you sleepy, when taken in large enough doses, they can be fatal. This tragic ordeal is extremely dangerous and has resulted in the death of a teenager. The US Food and Drug Administration warns that too much medication can lead to serious heart problems, seizures, coma or even death.
The Cereal Challenge
In addition to potentially leading people to choke, the cereal challenge is just plain nasty. The rules are fairly simple: use someone's mouth as a cereal bowl. That's right, people were pouring milk and cereal into another person's mouth while they laid down, and then using a spoon to eat it. This TikTok challenge has yet to be removed from the application.
The Outlet Challenge
While it seems like it would be a no brainer to refrain from putting a conductor into an electric outlet, many people were doing just that with the Outlet Challenge, which has also been referred to as the penny challenge. The purpose of said TikTok trend was to slide a penny behind a phone charger that was partially plugged in. The resulting spark was the "fun" of the video, but it also led to several fires and could potentially put hundreds of people's lives at risk.
Throw It in the Air
For the Throw It in the Air/Concussion Challenge, a group of people stand in a circle with their heads bent in to form a huddle. The group then throws an object into the air, and nobody in the circle is allowed to move until after the object lands on someone. The object which can range from a small ball to bigger items, including a bike usually hits one of the people on the head or the neck. The goal of the challenge is to cause a concussion, which is truly a terrifying concept.
Skullbreaker Challenge
This challenge has gone viral for all the wrong reasons. It involves three people standing next to one another in a line. When the person in the middle jumps in the air, the people on either side kick out the legs of the middle person. The dangerous challenge has led to many skull injuries, including fractures and concussions.
Several people have been hospitalized as a result while a few people have actually died from doing the challenge.
